hi Lisa, I'm kinda glad to hear that you get that amonia smell after exercise. I think it's normal. Do you smoke cigs? I rest my case about the Seroquel. I have a problem with this drug-only because of the weight gain/appetite effect it seems to have on me and, as you said here, maybe on you. I hate that aspect of it.
So you are eventually going to get up to 300mg??? wow I took 300mg at one time and I didn't notice weight gain that much-I'm wondering if it may depend on the dose?-example- the post "dose dependent". Seroquel has worked well for me, and I don't think I am going to play around with it. I take the 100mg at night, so I'll see........
yeah, the good thing was that you were wide awake at 6am--or was it? lol
Take care, Kristen
==================================================================================================Kristen,
That's great that you went out biking. Exercise always helps me feel a lot better long term, rather than doing something like overeating and regreting it later. I've had that amonia smell too - if I run for over an hour in hot weather. I can't remember why it occurs, but it's completely normal to have happen. I sometimes get that "runners high" (happens with other sports too) when I go for a run at a fast pace or run for several hours - I think it's because of something called endorphins.
I increased the Serequel to 150mg on Friday and felt fine. I heard that it was good to take Serequel 12 hours before you want to wake up so on Sat I took it at 8pm (big mistake) and then went out to dinner with my friends - an hour later I was starting to feel drugged and they really noticed. And I ate a lot more than I normally would have - and I had dessert which is something I rarely do. I think I know what you mean about how hungry the Serequel can make you. I'm never taking it before I eat again. But the great thing is that I was wide awake at 6am the next morning - didn't feel like a zombie. But I still wonder if I can tolerate 300mg of it. I guess I'll have to find out.
Lisa
